Thanks Kerry (and everyone else) for your contributions.

Yes, boiling water is absolutely necessary for a proper cup of tea.
The problem with Americans -- well, one of the problems with
Americans -- is that tea comes with too many historical resonances:
unwelcome taxes, Boston Tea Party, etc. Tea is associated with the
hateful oppressor. Drinking it lukewarm or otherwise seems
ever-so-slightly unpatriotic.
